*Review* Lydia's Riding Dress + Accessories


Made from beautifully heavy cotton-linen, this riding outfit echoes the days of Georgian England. The dusky blue skirt has 2 slit-pockets and gathers at the waistband. The dark blue jacket has braided trim and gold tone buttons, set off by a wide lapel. The blouse is crisp white cotton, with a cravat-inspired ruffle at the neck. 



Real buttons! Snap closures.



These boots are inspired by the Georgian style of the time - a longer, narrow boot to create an elegant shape.  These black 'lace up' boots fasten in back with velcro and end just above the ankle. 



The sleeveless cotton blouse has snap closures in back.


Lydia's hat is inspired by ladies' military fashions at the time and is made from dark blue stiffened cotton-linen with white lace trim. Perfect combination of masculine with feminine.
